Privacy Violation: Facebook, By Court Order, Told To Clarify How It Sells Its Product, You the Users, to Advertisers

Folks,
nothing is free. All those services we
use online that we're not paying for, even some that we do pay for, are free
because we the users are the products.
The information that we provide to Facebook, Twitter, and Google are all
collected, analyzed, and sold to advertisers.

So, in this
case, Facebook was used because users were fed up with sponsored stories that appear
using information that users were not aware of.
Frankly, as abhorrent as Facebook practices are, folks, they provide a
free service that hundreds of millions of users use. Someone has to pay for the electricity.

As it turns
out, it's the advertisers. And they need
information you provide Facebook to better target you with ads that are
relevant to you.

In this
latest spat, Facebook only added language that specifically says that as long
as you're using its services, for free, they have toe rights to use you and
sell you to advertisers without compensation to you. And if you happen to be younger than 18 years
old and continue to use Facebook, it meant that a parent or guardian has
approved of your actions.
